The 66-year-old voiced her disappointment after Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 67th President of the United States.

She began: “I woke up this morning and the first thought that came to my head was – America hates Women! – Not that I haven’t always felt the wrath of misogyny breathing down my neck.
“I walked downstairs to my daughter’s classroom. They are being homeschooled – they were taking a science test. I hugged them both and I started to cry.
“They are so upset about the elections and they are 12!! They are adopted from Malawi. Will they be considered Vermin by the government as well?”
She continued: “But it’s not just women that America hates. They straight up hate Freedom. They want lower taxes, but they don’t mind if they live in a Totalitarian government to get them.
“I don’t want to let go of our democracy!! Now we will all have to fight even harder to hang onto it.
“To feel valued. Not like second-class citizens. How could women vote for Trump? We fought for so long for so much!”
Madonna added: “What are we going to do with our feelings of disappointment? The universe is telling us that we have to spend the next four years fighting for our freedom!!!
“Are you prepared to fight? Critical thinking and getting involved in our community is needed. Be prepared to fight for your freedom. Be prepared to fight for your life!”
She concluded: “I’m not giving up hope. Are you with Me?”
Another said: “Love that you continue to use your voice.” A third added: “Well said! Thank you for always inspiring us all.”
Alongside Stella and Estere, Madonna also adopted her children David Banda, 19, and Mercy James, 18, from Malawi. She also has two biological children, Lourdes, 28, by her former personal trainer Carlos Leon, and Rocco, 24, by her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
It was announced in the early hours of November 6, 2024, that Donald won the election with 277 electoral votes to Kamala’s 219. He also won the popular vote.
At 78, he is the oldest person ever elected to the office. He is also the first convicted criminal to be elected United States President.
